Hong Kong is the best place to get a visa. I as offered 3 month double entry or 6 month multi (NZ passport). There may be issues with US passport in respect to getting longer visas. Extensions are a formality at any PSB.

However, British passport holders do seem to be charged more in Hong Kong for a Chinese visa than in other places (for example Bangkok). Whether you can get the 6 month multi in Bangkok or the UK is another matter though.

Hi,
I arrived in Hong Kong on a one way ticket as I will be teaching in China for more than one year. When I went to the visa office the next morning to get my 6 month visa I came armed with a copy of my work contract, a printout of some of the emails with the school I would be working for, proof of funds and the expectation of being grilled. But they didn't look me in the eye nor did they ask one single question when I handed them the completed form and 500 Yuan. All they want is your money.
